@javmex2003 I agree 100%. I always love Domingo and his huge voice but it is totally unsuitable for this most beautiful bel canto aria. His interpretation is lifeless and does not move me. This aria needs feeling and subtlety not just a loud blast of sound. Listen to Corelli to see how it's done.

Beautiful. As good as I have ever heard.

Yes, I have listened to the fine recording by Igor Gorin as suggested by @796824 and indeed it is great singing and I like it very much. But I prefer the more robust style of Horiuchi san above.

Music comes from the heart and you have the heart of a musician. If you keep practicing and keep putting your heart in it you will keep getting better and better.

Don't try to "get it right". There is no such thing in art. It's right already. You have moved the heart of one listener and that's a...

Bravo. This is music!

That's my highest compliment whether you are Paganini or a busker in the metro.

You create music and you are an artist.

Ah my, my. Tsk, tsk, tsk. How precious can you be?!

It's a JOKE. Not social comment, not political analysis, not history, not public policy - a joke. Get it! No, I guess you don't.

(The one about the apple pie is great, by the way. Not as good as the one about the cricket match in the POW camp ...

If my daughter could do a tenth as well as this I would be over the moon.

Not funny at all! Just an excellent try at a very difficult aria.

I have never seen anyone who seems to enjoy themselves so much while working so hard on a masterful performance. Sumi Jo is rapidly becoming my favorite soprano - maybe my favorite singer.

(And she loves and respects animals. What more could I ask for!)

@jack11anbar @jack11anbar Let me apologize. Of course your post and the effort you put into it is very welcome.

I was too harsh. I love La Cumpersita and being an old fool I get cranky when my preferences are not met.

The lateness of the hour, the holiday boissons etc. I have a million reasons ...

If there really was a god, my prayers would have been answered long ago and I would now be able to speak with the clarity, precision, logic and good humour that radiates from your videos. But I can't. So there isn't!

I have been listening to opera for well over fifty years. I've heard it all, from all parts of the world in all shapes and sizes. Take it from me: this is a world class singer who is a pleasure to watch and listen to. If she keeps it up she will be one of the greats.

I'm sorry that some of you d...

Thank you @omo5oshun5. My thoughts exactly, and you managed to say it without the dozen or so four letter words I may have angrily hurled at the cretins!
